This report summarizes the results of the second implementation phase (2024-2026) of the Innovation Sandbox for Artificial Intelligence (AI). Building on the findings of the first phase, the Office for Economic Development of the Canton of Zurich further developed the sandbox in a targeted manner and established it as a central instrument for empowering the AI ecosystem.
In the second phase, the sandbox team successfully implemented five AI use cases: AI in medical documentation, digital eye clinic, AI in building permits, sensor-based bridge monitoring and autonomous inspection robots. The sandbox realized concrete added value in the healthcare sector for the first time with two use cases. Another project also supported robotics companies entering the EU market. While the focus in the first phase (2022-2024) was on AI applications in the field of image recognition, the sandbox focuses on generative AI
in the second phase. The results of the second phase confirm the sandbox as an effective learning and implementation tool that reduces regulatory uncertainties, develops best practices based on real use cases and thus strengthens the AI ecosystem in a targeted manner. At the policy level, the findings served as a central basis for the Government Council's decision to strengthen the AI location for the period 2026-2029 and for the establishment of sandboxes as an instrument for promoting AI innovation at the national level.
